Imaginary Friend is a fascinating short film that really captures a unique blend of drama and introspection. Maxine Peake delivers a compelling performance, channeling a mix of vulnerability and complexity. The writing by Reece Dinsdale weaves in themes of loneliness and the role of imagination in coping with reality. The pacing keeps you engaged, allowing moments of stillness that amplify the emotional weight. The atmosphere is quite intimate, almost claustrophobic at times, enhancing the film's exploration of inner worlds. The practical effects are subtle but effective, grounding the narrative in a somewhat surreal space that feels relatable yet off-kilter. It’s this balance that sets it apart, really drawing you into the protagonist's internal struggles.
